In the new issue: True History of the Kelly Gang, Emma, and more!
In our fortnightly film section, we give you interviews, news, reviews and exciting backstage content for all of the hottest film releases. To celebrate our latest issue, take a look at what films we're buzzing about at the Hot Press offices.
In our latest issue's lead film interview, Roe McDermott spoke to George Mackay about his latest film, True History of the Kelly Gang. In the film, MacKay plays Ned Kelly, the iconic Australian outlaw with Irish parentage. The film is already getting significant buzz from critics and fans alike.
EMMA., starring Anya Taylor-Joy and directed by Autumn DeWilde, prompts Roe to have a good think about what makes a remake good. But you'll have to get the issue in order to find out what she really thinks of this reimagining of Jane Austen's classic matchmaking heroine.
Starring Issa Rae and Lakeith Stanfield, The Photograph is an exploration of cross-generational love. Written and directed by Stella Meghie, it allows black characters to be at the centre of their own narrative without rooting said narrative in oppression and suffering.
The Pieces I Am is already creating a serious buzz. This documentary, about the life of Nobel prize-winning author and editor Toni Morrison, features interviews with Oprah, Angela Davis, Fran Leibowitz and the iconic writer herself.
Barry Keoghan is making his triumphant return to Irish cinema after his breakout role in Yorgos Lanthimos' The Killing of a Sacred Deer, which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2017. Calm With Horses follows a former boxer torn between family and crime, with Cosmo Jarvis in the lead role and Keoghan as his chief antagonist.
